Margaret "Peggy" Ann Gill

Margaret "Peggy" Ann Gill passed away on July 12, 2013 at the age of 60. Her brave and courageous

battle with breast cancer ended after 22 years. During her battle she inspired many, giving hope and courage to those struggling with the very disease that plagued her. Never once did she think of giving up and never once did you see a tear fall from her eyes. She was the true definition of a warrior, hero and angel. A loving wife, mother and friend that will be greatly and deeply missed.
